Emerging Attacker Exploit: Microsoft Cross-Tenant Synchronization

Attackers continue to target Microsoft identities to gain access to connected Microsoft applications and federated SaaS applications. Additionally, attackers continue to progress their attacks in these environments, not by exploiting vulnerabilities, but by abusing native Microsoft functionality to achieve their objective. The attacker group Nobelium, linked with the SolarWinds attacks, has been

Alert: New Electromagnetic Attacks on Drones Could Let Attackers Take Control

Drones that don't have any known security weaknesses could be the target of electromagnetic fault injection (EMFI) attacks, potentially enabling a threat actor to achieve arbitrary code execution and compromise their functionality and safety. The research comes from IOActive, which found that it is "feasible to compromise the targeted device by injecting a specific EM glitch at the right time
